TOPIC: 'Avatar' brings in $73 million

'Avatar' brings in $73 million 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
The most expensive movie Director James Cameron ever made (more than Titantic) was released this past weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

After months of breathless buzz, speculation, and doubt, James Cameron's "Avatar" finally arrived in movie theaters nationwide, and its box office prognosis definitely isn't blue.
The 3-D sci-fi epic landed at number one with an estimated $73 million, according to Hollywood.com Box Office.
The number is certainly on the lower end of expectations for the long-anticipated film, but considering that much of the east coast was buried under record snowfall for most of the weekend, it remains an unambiguously solid opening -- the best 3-D debut ever and the second-best December debut behind "I Am Legend."
Also unambiguous: The film's rock-solid "A" CinemaScore rating, which, along with the raves currently streaming across Twitter and inundating message boards, suggests it will grow long legs at the box office well into the new year. (It's no wonder that IMAX screenings of the film reportedly sold-out every single seat.) Worldwide, the picture's already banked an estimated $232.2 million.
The crappy weather appears to have suppressed all box-office totals, too. "The Princess and the Frog" hopped to second place with $12.2 million, a 50 percent drop from its wide debut last weekend, for $44.8 million total.
"The Blind Side" caught $10.0 million for third place. With $164.7 million total, it officially surpasses "The Proposal" as the highest grossing film for star Sandra Bullock.
Her old "Two Weeks Notice" co-star Hugh Grant, however, isn't sharing the same box-office fate; "Did You Hear About The Morgans?," his romcom with Sarah Jessica Parker, debuted at fourth place with a weak $7 million.
